Description
We are seeking a skilled and experienced Mechanical Engineer with 7+ years of experience in mechanical design and product development. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in SolidWorks and data management systems such as PDM/3DEXPERIENCE, and a solid understanding of various manufacturing processes, including sheet metal, plastic injection molding, extrusion, and 3D printing. The successful candidate will lead complex design initiatives, support junior engineers, and drive cross-functional efforts from concept to production. Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills are essential.
- Lead the design and development of mechanical components, assemblies, and systems using SolidWorks, ensuring alignment with functional, aesthetic, and manufacturability requirements.
- Generate detailed engineering documentation, including drawings, BOMs, GD&T, and design specifications.
- Own the management and lifecycle of design data using PDM/3DEXPERIENCEplatforms.
- Serve as a technical expert on DFM/DFA principles, applying knowledge of sheet metal, plastic injection, extrusion, and 3D printing to create production-ready designs.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including electrical, software, manufacturing, and supply chain to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of project milestones.
- Lead and supervise hands-on prototyping and testing efforts; iterate designs based on test results and stakeholder feedback.
- Manage multiple complex projects with minimal supervision, balancing timelines, budgets, and technical performance.
- Support root cause analysis and troubleshooting for existing products in production and post-release environments.
- Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior engineers and designers.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Mechanical Engineering or related field.7+ years of experience in mechanical design with a proven track record of leading successful product development initiatives.
- Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks and PDM/3DEXPERIENCE.
